Local HVAC Pros Offer Condenser Coil Cleaning
Keeping your air conditioning unit running as intended by performing regular maintenance checks is an ideal way to ensure it lasts as long as possible. A new AC system is a big investment, so taking steps to take care of it is important.
While there are many components to check and items to work on during a maintenance check, perhaps the most important is cleaning of the condenser coil. A dirty coil can lead to higher energy bills, a struggling unit and/or bigger issues down the road if they aren’t addressed in time.
Our company is happy to offer a full catalog of HVAC services to people in the East Bay Area. We’re licensed and experienced in the repair, installation and maintenance of heating and cooling systems, and we’re proud to be the go-to provider for all things HVAC in Antioch, Concord, Pittsburg, Pleasant Hill and the entire surrounding area.
Many of our clients choose to enroll in our routine maintenance service where we periodically come to service their AC units. This service allows us to ensure their system is running as intended and catch minor issues before they become major problems. During this service, we always check and clean the condenser coil, and this regular cleaning allows the unit to run at peak efficiency.
A condenser coil is in place to release heat, in turn cooling your home and helping to provide you with comfortable air indoors. When a coil is covered in dust, dirt or other debris, heat can remain insulated inside and this causes the unit to work harder over time to cool the unit. This strain on the unit can cause key parts to wear down quickly and decrease the lifespan of your system.
We provide cleaning services for coils as part of our maintenance plans or in one-off situations, and we use specialized equipment and our expertise of condensers to ensure the coil is clean and allows air to flow as intended.
When we begin our cleaning process, the first step is to determine the level of debris buildup on the coil itself. Our team is trained to diagnose the status of the coil and from there, we will understand what tools need to be used to most effectively clean it and which areas need to be cleaned.
Depending on the severity of the cleaning needed, we can use pressurized water tools to remove debris and restore the coil to its original functionality. Many clients notice an immediate improvement in the performance of their unit and a decrease in their utility bills upon cleaning.
Once your coil has been cleaned, our technicians can explain the level of contamination they saw and use this information to recommend a regular maintenance plan so your unit stays running at full capacity. While some clients opt for irregular cleaning, being part of a maintenance plan is proven to extend your unit’s life expectancy and the savings you will see on your energy bills might offset the cost of the periodic maintenance.
